Locker Room Report: Brian Hoyer rated as the best deep passer in the NFL

[Count Steeler]

• Coach Mike Pettine called a meeting Saturday night at the team hotel. Brian Hoyer slowly looked around the room and could just sense the Cleveland Browns were going to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers the following day. It’s becoming easy for this team to rally around Pettine. They want to win for him.
• “He just said, ‘Look, it’s Pittsburgh. It’s our stadium. It’s a division game. What more do I need to say,’” Hoyer said about the pep talk. “He talked about what needed to be done, and you could just tell there was a feeling of confidence. I think…I can’t really put it into words, but you look around the room and everybody was ready to go.”
• ProFootballFocus.com tweeted this about Brian Hoyer -- he leads all quarterbacks with 531 yards coming on deep passes traveling 16 yards or further in the air. Second is Philip Rivers (475); third is Andrew Luck (449). Hoyer’s arm strength has been on display in every game this season.
• Hoyer's deep passes were on the money against Pittsburgh. He only needed eight completions for 217 yards. Yardage numbers against the Steelers went for the following: 51, 42, 31, 31, 24 and 17. And this is nothing new, either.

He has played Pittsburgh twice. Hmmm, can't wait to see what an elite QB does to us.

Andrew Luck is coming to the Burgh in two weeks, at least 300 yards and 4 TDs coming up

At least.

Actually, that will wind up being one of those games the steelers win and then go on to lose 7 straight after that to lesser opponents.
